Types of Assessments
PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT
A psychoeducational assessment is an in-depth, systematic investigation of strengths and weaknesses in various areas such as cognitive, intellectual, academic, social, emotional, and behavioural functioning.
This type of assessment is primarily helping parents and the school understand what may be causing a child’s difficulties in the school environment, such as attentional or learning challenges, anxiety, or any other factors that may be involved.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS
Our clinical psychologists offer a variety of assessments, including psychodiagnostic, medical-legal, return-to-work, and MVA assessments.
In some of our clinics, we offer integrated QEEG data as an option with the psychological assessment you choose. This allows the assessing clinician to integrate data from the client’s report, objective psychological testing, as well as EEG information, providing detailed conclusions regarding diagnoses and treatment options.
